ANNIE HALL

What hasn't been written about Woody Allen's 1977 magnum opus, ANNIE HALL? It redefined the romantic comedy, won the Oscar for Best Picture, and it has routinely been listed as one of the greatest films of all time. What's less well-known is the story behind its creation. This 90-minute romantic comedy about a neurotic comedian who falls for an equally kooky nightclub singer originally started as a two-and-a-half-hour mess of a film before being reshaped by editors Ralph Rosenblum, ACE, and Wendy Greene Bricmont, ACE, into the witty, bittersweet film that everyone fell in love with. This event will be a unique deep-dive into how two editors took one film and changed it into another.

Wendy Greene Bricmont, ACE, is a film editor best known for cutting ANNIE HALL, MEAN GIRLS, and KINDERGARTEN COP (one of her six collaborations with Ivan Reitman), among many others. ANNIE HALL was voted one of the best-edited films of all time by the Motion Picture Editors Guild.
